Boynton Beach Police hosting K9 competition

If you and the kids like to see police dogs at work, they'll jump over fences, crawl through barrels, climb walls and chase bad guys at the 2013 South Florida K9 Competition that Boynton Beach Police will host March 2.

The free event is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Boynton Beach High School, 4975 Park Ridge Boulevard. Organizers will also host a food truck rally.

More than 24 cops and their K9 partners will compete.

There will also be an interactive SWAT mission where kids will wear cop gear to rescue a teddy bear, agency spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said.

K9s who died in the line of duty will be remembered.

And a percentage of the day's proceeds will be shared with Palm Beach County Sheriff’s K9 Sgt. Mike Anderson, who had one of his legs amputated after an off-duty traffic crash.
